Great atmosphere, food and service. The ladies were amazing, the only issue was the guy that works there put our specially made cake on the stove. By the time we noticed, there was a huge cracks in it! The ladies did a great job of fixing it as best they could. All in all everyone had a great time and the cake was just a blip.

I ordered the mofongo any other restaurant has rice and beans on the side not this location had to make another order for that. It was dry and not prepared well. The waitress that served us had a terrible attitude the entire night. Slammed plates down when bringing them, was very short she rolled her eyes anytime you asked for something. We were the only ones in the restaurant so she should have been happy good sized group good tip but nope. Food was bland so many other options in the area. Would not return to this location at all.

Food was AMAZING but service was poor ? lady that took care of us had a nasty attitude the moment we walked in. Restaurant was empty when we walked in but took forever to take our order. It almost felt like they were not happy having costumers.

First of all wrong ingredient to make Mangu . The flavor was bland because they used green banana instead of Green Plantains. It's not Mangu if is missing this. The fried cheese was soak in oil terrible. The Mojo should have made with garlic.I was very disappointed.

Stop in for a quick lunch. Food was good for quick lunch standards. I had breaded chicken with yellow rice and red beans. I asked for onions, and I received deliciously seasoned onion. I don't know if they were pickled or what but they were delicious. The rice was a little too clumpy for me, i tend to like my grains more individualized. However, it did taste ok. The breaded chicken and beans were ok, not great. Service was great, very attentive. Ambiance was lacking, but I mean for it isn't that type of party. It's serves its purpose for a great meal for lunch or dinner. The prices are great, I want to add. This isn't a 4/5 star restaurant by any means but it's super solid 3 and does the job.

The food was ok but was highly surprised by the receipt. I was taxed for everything. It was not worth it. Would not be coming back.

The food is great here. Someone that works there wasn't nice to my mom, so I can't give it 5 stars.
